VICTORY LOAN DRIVE

Use of Official Symbol on Series E Bonds

To all Issuing Agents in the Second Federal Reserve District Qualified for Sale of United States Savings Bonds of Series E:

The official symbol adopted by the Treasury Department for use in connection with the Victory Loan, which commences October 29, 1945, appears in the lower left-hand corner of this circular.

We have been authorized by the Treasury to furnish to issuing agents in this Federal Reserve District rubber stamps for use in impressing the symbol on Series E bonds issued by them during the Victory Loan Drive, if the agents should care to make use of the symbol in this manner. When the stamp is used, the Treasury has pre-scribed that it shall be applied to the face of the bond, in the space between the inscrip-tion and the issuing agent's dating stamp, extending not higher than the top of the circle provided for the dating stamp nor lower than the top of the serial number.

If you should care to receive one or more stamps for use in the manner prescribed by the Treasury, please complete and return the attached card to us promptly. In the interests of economy and because of the difficulty in obtaining the necessary materials, it is expected that in general issuing agents will confine their requests to not more than one stamp for use at each office at which bonds are issued.

In the event an issuing agent should prefer to prepare at its own expense an issu-ing agent's dating stamp, which would incorporate the words "Victory Loan", in addition to data regularly appearing in such stamp, the Treasury would have no objec-tion provided the stamp does not exceed 1% inches in its largest dimension.

A L L A N S P R O U L ,

President.

VICTORY LOAN Subscriptions By Dealers and Brokers

To all Dealers and Brokers in the Second Federal Reserve District:

Subscriptions by dealers and brokers in the Victory Loan Drive will be limited to 2%% Treasury Bonds of 1967-72 and 2*4% Treasury Bonds of 1959-62. Total subscriptions to such issues by a dealer or broker shall not exceed (a) the amount of 2V2% Treasury Bonds of 1965-70 and 2%% Treasury Bonds of 1956-59 sold by such dealer or broker outright to customers other than other dealers and brokers in the 45-day period following the Fourth War Loan Drive, or (b) 40 percent of the dealer's or broker's net capital, whichever is greater. In no case should the subscription exceed the amount which the dealer or broker expects to be able to sell outright to customers other than other dealers and brokers within ninety days after the close of the drive on December 8, 1945.

In order that there may be no misunderstanding as to the amount subscribed by a dealer or broker for his own account, subscriptions for account of customers must not be entered in the name of the dealer or broker.

If you expect to enter subscriptions to 21/2% Treasury Bonds of 1967-72 or 21/4% Treasury Bonds of 1959-62 offered during the Victory Loan Drive, we shall appreciate your informing us of the amount of your net capital or the amount of the two restricted issues included in the Fourth War Loan Drive which you sold to your customers other than dealers and brokers during the 45-day period following the close of that drive. For your convenience in furnishing this information, we enclose a form which should be filled in and returned to us before entering a subscription. However, since the above mentioned limitations are the same as those relating to subscriptions from dealers and brokers in the Seventh War Loan Drive, it will be unneces-sary for you to furnish us this information if we received it in connection with your subscrip-tion in that drive and if there has been no change in your net capital.

Dealers and brokers are requested to enter their subscriptions in the Federal Reserve District in which their head offices are located.

A TITAN S P R O U L ,

President.
